I studied full time at London Guildhall last year, I recommend them highly (got me through all 14 first time). I have my doubts about distance learning courses for JAR ATPL. There seemed to be too much work for a part time course and a lot of benefit comes from having an experienced lecturer teaching and answering questions on the spot. I haven't met anyone whos completed the JAR exams following a distance learning course (though I'm sure there must be someone somewhere). I took seven months off work to get the course done and it turned out to be a sound decision. And I made some good friends in the process!
